Slow-pay sportsbook BetOnBet (SBR rating F) closes. BetOnBet players were lucky to receive funds in the last month after submitting complaints. The last known payment went through August 8th. SBR first reported warning signs in July. The book's parent company, Eurolinx, announced its assets are being liquidated and the sportsbook is insolvent. It is unlikely players will see any of their funds. BetOnBet is the latest Malta-licensed operation to fold due to lack of funding.

21. August 2009
MALTA – The Linx Media Group has today announced that it is seeking to put its businesses into liquidation and will cease trading with immediate effect.
As yet, the Linx Media Group does not know how long this process will take, but it will provide updates on the situation as and when information becomes available and when liquidators are appointed.
A company spokesperson from the Linx Media Group stated: “It is with great regret that we make this announcement. I appreciate the concern and frustration that this will inflict on the Eurolinx, BetOnBet, and Linx Casino player community. Affected account holders are those individuals who have agreed to a contractual relationship with the Linx Media Group through Eurolinx, BetOnBet and Linx Casino. All available player funds are held by these businesses. As soon as we have information on how to lodge claims with the liquidators, we will communicate this via www.eurolinx.com, www.BetOnBet.com and www.linxcasino.com.”[/quote]

On July 21st SBR reported the relationship between OddsMatrix and BetOnBet (SBR rating D-). The COO of OddsMatrix, Jesper Ramskov Jensen, contacted SBR stating that OddsMatrix stands by player balances for sportsbooks listed on OddsMatrix's references page. On July 29th the CEO of OddsMatrix and founder of BetOnBet Stian Hornsletten stated Jesper’s comments were incorrect, stating that BetOnBet is provided only sportsbook software and not a full turnkey solution. OddsMatrix CEO Stian Hornsletten states that they sold BetOnBet in January of 2009 to the Linx Media Group, which currently operates Eurolinx, BetOnBet, and LinxCasino. Players are advised to use extreme caution at any Linx-based sportsbooks or casinos until payment complaints are addressed.
SBR has began discussing the issues with the current General Manager of BetOnBet, and will update this report when we have more information regarding the backlog of payments.
